  Handsome dark color. Lovely new oak bouquet of vanilla, cedar, garrigue, kirsch and blackberry. Flavors of cedar, graphite, sour cherry, vanilla and gravel dust. Fairly acidic. Finish is a little dry.

  Dark and full-bodied with a silky mouth feel. No outstanding fruit. Not one for a second date.

  This is for the 2010 vintage. Poured through a wine shower with a fine filter into a decanter for 1 hour. Fair amount of sediments. Rudy red in color. Very fruity aromas with oak flavour. Black cherry and spice on the palate. Smooth, rounded and velvety tannins in a medium bodied finish with a bit of acicidy poking through. I like the smell of it more than the taste.
  
  I edited the point to 89 after another hour of decant...It softened up and became more rounded after another hour.

  In the bouquet herbs and some leather. On the palate chocolate leather, bitterness, herbs and spices, full bodied and good acidity. 86 - 87
